Info: Same as last.. I‘d call it a class 1 or class 1.5 road right now. Only a few little dips, but easily avoidable if you‘re worried at all. The Colorado College group did a stellar job.

Info: A group from Colorado College was fixing potholes and drainage issues around the road today. No problems getting to the parking lot with any vehicle right now.

Info: Road leading up to trailhead was 'washboarded', but no major issues or stoppages.
100-200 yards before getting to the parking lot, there are some very deep potholes
that made driving a bit interesting. We were driving a Forester XT that's lowered with
stiff suspension, and still made it without an issue though. We saw a Honda Accord
in the parking lot, so it's definitely pass-able with about any vehicle. The bathroom
was a welcome surprise, but no running water, and bring your own toilet paper. You'll
need to pack out your trash of course. Mosquitos didn‘t seem to be a problem, and no
bear issues.

Info: Either mosquitoes were attacking others or they‘ve calmed down now... only a couple bites and used repellant once at end of trip (breaking down camp). Friday, 3pm, parking lot was already pretty full. Just b/c road is relatively easy as 14-er TH roads go, don‘t drop your guard. While avoiding some ruts in the center of the road we didn‘t notice a big rock on the side (I swear it jumped out at my tire). Oops.

Info: Road open. Would not boot up until around 11K right before first waterfall and trail kicks to the east. Snow after that, but kinda dries up once you cross back to the N side of the river

Info: Road is freshly graded and in great shape. A 2wd car can make it to the top. In much better shape than a year ago.

Info: Road was an easy 2wd road. Any car could make it up it. Not sure why the approach says good clearance is a good idea. Any clearance will work.
